Hearing these words, an unfathomable look flashed in Leng Xi's eyes.
It wasn't that he wanted to meddle in such trivial matters. It was actually that after seeing the jade pendant, his mother insisted that he come to protect Li Hongfu. When he asked why, his mother didn't tell him, but just said that the matter was of great importance.
At the gate of Shuntian Mansion, Leng Yu and Luo Lan stood opposite Leng Xi. Leng Xi suddenly smiled contemptuously.
"Fourth brother, you are meddling in such trivial matters. It seems you want to establish a good reputation among the people."
Looking at this completely different Leng Xi, Leng Yu felt a little more sad. Luo Lan looked at him coldly and smiled disdainfully.
"Don't you, the dignified Prince Xi, also like to meddle in such matters? But we are different from you. My husband and I are helping the people to eliminate harm, while you, Prince Xi, are helping the evil. But I think! As a human being, no matter what you do, you must be true to your conscience."
Leaving these words behind, she raised her face to look at Leng Yu, and said with a clear smile:
"Husband, it's windy here, and the wind carries dirt. Let's go home!"
Leng Yu nodded, gave her a gentle smile, took her hand, and walked towards the carriage.
Looking at the backs of the two of them as they left lovingly, Leng Xi felt indescribably sad, and the shadow of Long Xiaomin involuntarily appeared in front of his eyes.
Sitting in the carriage, Luo Lan muttered curiously,
"My husband, why would Leng Xi care about this? Could it be that Li Hongfu's wife brought that stupid son to the capital to look for him?"
Leng Yu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.
"Perhaps! But if that were the only reason, Leng Xi wouldn't show up. He wouldn't bother disrupting the court and offending his father-in-law for two distant relatives he didn't know."
Hearing him say this, Luo Lan's brows twisted together, and he asked in surprise:
"Then why did he do that?"
Leng Yu's eyes were filled with coldness as he shook his head. "I don't know, let's wait and see!"
He also couldn't figure out why Leng Xi would stand up for someone who had nothing to do with him. Even though Li Hongfu was his cousin, they had never had any contact before, and Leng Yu knew this.
If that’s the case, why is Leng Xi acting like this?
Leng Yu lifted the curtain door and looked out, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't think about it. Go check out your new shop. I asked Xiao Lingzi to go talk to him this morning. I think it should be about time now."
"So soon?"
Luo Lan looked at him in astonishment. "My husband, that's a huge sum of money. You spent it all in just one morning?"
"It's worth spending any amount of money to make my lady smile."
Although his words came from his heart, Luo Lan just curled her nose at him.
"Husband, please don't keep pampering me. I'll become more and more excessive."
Leng Yu still squinted his eyes and chuckled, "So what? As long as my lady doesn't poke the sky and do anything excessive, I don't mind."
this……
These words really left Luo Lan speechless. She also believed that Leng Yu would really indulge her endlessly like this. He probably knew that she would not do anything excessive.
When they arrived at the shop on the main street of the capital, Xiao Lingzi, Acai, Ahong and A Li came out to greet them. Seeing them, Xiao Lingzi stepped forward and said happily:
"Your Highness, Princess, I'll give you 10,000 taels of silver to buy this shop."
Ten thousand taels?
Luo Lan looked at him in disbelief. She stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Xiao Lingzi's eyes. "You mean ten thousand taels?"
"yes."
Xiao Lingzi raised his eyebrows proudly and said:
"The prince said he would buy it no matter how much silver it cost. The landlord wanted 11,000 taels, and I gave him 10,000 taels, which saved me 1,000 taels. I've already paid the silver bill. If you don't believe me, ask Ali."
Luo Lan turned to look at Ali who had been quietly keeping the accounts. Ali pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
"General Ling asked me to pay, so I paid."
Luo Lan slapped his forehead with his hand and shouted.
"Oh my god, ten thousand taels of silver, how can I ever earn it back in my lifetime? You guys are really bold in spending money."
Seeing that she looked a little exaggerated, Leng Yu stepped forward, took her hand, and said with a friendly smile:
"Princess Yu, how can you open a clinic that's shabby? Ask Ayu and the others to decorate it according to your ideas. You can open it for business in less than two weeks."
As he spoke, he took her hand and walked inside.
The place was spacious and bright. After Luo Lan entered, he told Ayu and Ahou his ideas in turn. They nodded and took note of them.
She asked Little Gemini to order a plaque, and Little Gemini exclaimed as if he remembered something:
"Princess, how about moving the golden plaque bestowed by the Emperor here? How magnificent would that be?"
Acai and Ahong also nodded in agreement.
Luo Lan decisively rejected the idea. "This is a clinic, not a place for comparison. There's no need for pretentious things. Besides, the people who come here for treatment are all patients. Whether we can cure their illnesses is the most important thing."
Leng Yu looked at the twins with a cold face and scolded them unhappily:
"You're so smart. Just do what the princess says."
The little twins snorted and turned to go out. Ayu and Ahou also went to work, and Acai and Ahong also ran to clean up.
Standing in the empty room, Leng Yu suddenly put his arms around Luo Lan's waist from behind, hugged her to his chest, and whispered happily,
"My dear, you have the final say here from now on. I will let Ayu and Alai come here to help you. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be kicked out."
